Here (see the lower left-hand corner) is the refugio for the Val Māsino area. 3+ hour approach, though it feels hella-longer. From the refugio, most of the climbing is accessible within 1-3 hours further approach.

Paolo75 leads up the drier of the two waterfall pitches on La Fedele. He is acing the art of screwing the second (moi), who must remove various nuts while water runs down their arms and their feet slip and slide. Grrrrrr.

The last of a German party ahead of us tops out on the 9th and last pitch of Luna Nascente. After 8 solid pitches of lie-backing, this 50-metre unprotectable and featureless slab comes as quite a shock.
